TRANSFERS OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION
Most of the time, your data is stored within the European Union.
However, when our service providers are located in countries outside the European Union, we share some of your data with third countries, such as with third countries where the European Commission has not conducted a compliance assessment.
In this case, we will make sure that this data sharing is done in compliance with the relevant regulations and that the protection of your privacy and fundamental rights is guaranteed (e.g. by using the contractual clauses of the European Commission).
The data protection officer can provide you with more information about the transfer of data on request.
SECURITY MEASURES
With the technical and organizational measures that we take, we can guarantee a level of security that is in line with the risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons with regard to the points mentioned in point 2. In doing so, we take into account the origin, the scope, the context, the costs and the state of knowledge, the purposes of the processing, but also the identified risks.
In addition, we are up to date with the PCI DSS payment card industry security standard, which reflects our commitment to security.
PROFILING AND AUTOMATED DECISION
Due to the automated processing we use (e.g. profiling), you are subject to legal effects that affect you.
All of this is necessary for the conclusion or execution of the contract between you and us.
This is how we can propose and carry out the automation of customer identification and "4 x payment". The basis of this operation is attached to the analysis of different variables concerning the type of products, the services ordered, or the customer profile.
If the risk is assessed with these statistics as being too great (fraud/unpaid), then this payment method will not be offered.
However, if you wish, you can obtain a human intervention although the decisions are automated, you will be able to give your opinion and/or oppose the automatic decision.
POLICY UPDATE AND REVISION
Our personal data policy will be updated whenever necessary in order to be in accordance with the regulations applicable to the protection of your data (at least every three (3) years).
